gollark: Heavserver has some overly aggressive ones somewhere.
gollark: But that would also be a superset of Rust.
gollark: We all know Macron is a Rust superset.
gollark: **STOP DOING MACRON**- MACROS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE USED FOR EVERYTHING- Years of Macron "development" yet NO ACTUAL SPECIFICATION or COHERENT LANGUAGE DESIGN- Wanted to use macros anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called Lisp.- "there's two kinds of forwarding. `impl<Int(N)(a)> Int(M)(a) where N < M`. Macron is already named. bags, which are like modules but you can't get a specific thing out" - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged.LOOK what Macron authors have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the computers and tooling we built for them (This is REAL Macron, done by REAL Macronians):```def sentinel(x: a, v: a): a? { (x != v).then(x)}``````def id(x: a): a { x}def thing(): Int? { id(0)}```"Hello I would like `impl<u8(a)> T(a)` apples please."
